Selling a Business in Arizona

Selling a business after years of work can be extremely profitable. Many businesses are created with the hopes that they will one day be acquired by a larger firm. The sale can be complicated, however. There are Federal and Arizona laws concerning mergers, acquisitions, negotiations and securities exchanges that must be followed.

How Do I Sell a Business?

To sell a business there must be an offer, whether it is solicited or not. Purchase agents in Winslow not only help to secure an offer, but also lends advice about which offers are worthwhile to consider. Preparing financial records to comply with Arizona and Federal law is essential and will help determine the proper value for the rights you are selling. As a final step, an agreement for the purchase will be reached, usually in the form of a written contract. It should be reviewed by all parties to ensure that what was agreed upon is accurately presented.

What Will I Give Up in the Business?

The sale of a business is simply the transfer of a right known as "control". The party with control of a business directs its operations and can use the business property as it sees fit. A party seeking to purchase a Winslow business may not be concerned with all aspects of the company. In fact, purchasers are usually interested in acquiring control as cheaply as possible, and this may allow other rights, including the right to future earnings, to be apportioned or even retained by the seller. Because of the wide variety of different concerns buyers may have, negotiations are vital. Each party should voice their intents and concerns during this process.

03/22/2010Ms. G. was just the lawyer that I needed! She was better than the Superior rating! I had tried to get a lawyer through my employee assistance program and that particular person did not return the call that I made twice to him until 2 weeks later! I knew that person was not who I wanted to represent me! Ms. G. was professional, responded quickly and her secretary Shirley was wonderful as well! Thank you both & thank you LegalMatch!
Sincerly,
Donna

02/15/2010The attorney that represented me from this firm was totally outstanding, David Goldfarb. He is a very bright intelligent attorney that is at the top of his career right now. In the first five seconds he did something for me that proved to me that he was the right attorney and he was. My son now currently has sole custody of my grand-daughter, we can sleep at night knowing that she is safe.
You rock David, I will always recommend you to any of my co-workers any time I hear that someone needs an attorney.
Thank you again David!
Sincerely,
Michelle Garland

12/29/2008I actually met with Michele Kunzman at the law firm G., Shields, & Associates, P.A.
I met with her for one hour only for a consultation to see whether or not I had grounds for a case. Michele was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She explained the law to me in terms that I could understand. Unfortunately, I don't have a strong enough case to pursue the matter. I was very pleased with the way Michele Kunzman conducted the consultation and would highly recommend her to friends or family members.

07/16/2008Ms. G. is still working on my case. She has been so kind, understanding and smart beyond all else. This is not her first rodeo. She does not talk down to me. She makes me feel comfortable, and I feel as if I have an entire team behind me, not just her. I feel she is working toward the same goal that I have... as I am not looking to WIN, but I am looking for what type of custody arrangement will best take care of my children and how to best take care of myself along the way. I researched numerous lawyers, had countless referals, personally spoke with about 15 attorneys, and she has gone out of her way to provide kind, artful human service. I am not a case number and I appreciate that. Thank you Legal Match

03/17/2008Ms. G. has taken an interest in my case. She has reacted to the information that I have given her and feels that I have a "good chance" on winning my case and getting custody of my son. She is working in my best interests and my son's, as well.

05/03/2016I was charged with a drug dui in a small city in AZ early this year. I was visiting from out of state. I believe I spoke with 5 or 6 different lawyers before I decided to hire Mr. H.. My case was complex and could have gone a could different directions. Mr. H. was honest with me from day one and didn't try to sell me a rosie picture of an outcome. I know that I was screwed but I wanted the best chance I could get. I had a charge of an open container dropped and another charge drastically reduced. Thanks for helping me keep my job.

08/27/2011Lyle D. handled my case with great ease. He was very knowledgeable about the subject matter of my case. He even took the time to explain to me and break down my charges in intricate detail as per the PA statutes. He was very confident and reassuring. On the day of my hearing, he took charge and in a very timely manner, he settled my case very favorably. Also, his rates are very competitive, if not actually better than most. Good value and good quality are a rare find together, however, I found it with Mr. Lyle D.. Thank you very much, Lyle!
